The experiments were conducted at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) during the two consecutive Rabi seasons of 2006-07 and 07-08 to assess the efficacy of different levels of chemical fertilizes and microbial inoculants on quality attributes of hybrid cabbage. Five levels of chemical fertilizers (F1 - N80 P40K40, F2 - N120 P60 K60, F3 - N160 P80 K80, F4 - N200 P100 K100 and F5 - N240 P120 K120) and five treatments of microbial inoculants (M1-0, M2- Azotobacter, M3-Azospirillum, M4 - VAM and M5 - PSB) were taken for investigation. Among the various fertility levels of chemical fertilizers, N240 P120 K120 gave the maximum protein, phosphorus and calcium content in head of cabbage while ascorbic acid was higher at fertility level of N80 P40 K40.The plant developed under inoculation of biofertilizer Azospirillum produced the highest protein content in head where as microbial inoculants PSB or VAM gave maximum phosphorus and calcium in head. However, the interaction effects of microbial inoculants and levels of chemical fertilizers on quality were failed to touch the level of significance.Keywords

An experiment was carried out during Rabi 2006-07 and 2007-08 at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour to find out the effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers on dry matter yield per plant and NPK-uptake by plant from soil. Five levels of inorganic fertilizers (F1-N80 P40K40, F2 - N120 P60K60, F3- N160 P80 K80 F4 - N200 P100 K100 and F5 - N240 P120K120) and five treatments of bio fertilizers (M1-O, M2- Azotobacter, M3 - Azospirillum, M4 - VAM and M5 - PSB) were taken. The data of two years were pooled and analysed. The results of the investigation revealed that maximum dry matter production per plant and NPK- uptake by plant from soil was obtained at fertility level of N200 P100 K100. The interaction effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers were also found highly significant. The plant grown at fertility level of N200 P100 K100 along with application of Azospirillum as seed and seedlings treatment as well as soil application gave the highest dry matter yield per plant as well as NPK - uptake by plant from the soil.Keywords

The findings of a field trial conducted in 2012-13 and 2013-14 to assess different cultivars of strawberry in Supaul district of Bihar revealed that short day cultivars were more tolerant to insect pests than day neutral cultivars, particularly in later stage of fruit development leading to record higher yield. It was also revealed that a suitable micro-climate was required for optimum plant growth, higher crop yield and the best quality fruits. Festival was found to be the best performing variety in respect of weight per fruit, yield and marketable fruit quality having maximum growth, plant height (21.34cm), flowering duration (60.09 days), fruiting duration (55.62 days) and yield (15.26 tons/ha).

A field experiment was conducted on the varietal performance of tuberose in Muzaffarnagar Under Western Plain Zone condition at Krishi Vigyan Kendra campus and farmers field in 2013 and 2014. The experiment was jointly organised with Directorate of Floriculture Research Institute, I.C.A.R., New Delhi. The study revealed that the Prajwal variety perform batter in comparison to other variety. Prajwal variety highest length of spike (111cm), rachis length (31.53cm), number of Florate (60.33) and diametre of spike (12.92mm) and minimum rachis length (20.22cm) number of Florates (40.40) and diametre of spike (3.70mm) in Mexican single. Which was significantly lower in comparison to variety Prajwal?
